Re: Power keeps shutting off and won't cut back on

Also, it is not just my apartment; my neighbors' apartment also has no power. Here is a screenshot that says that the Landgrabs are responsible. It has to be a glitch, a really bad one that doesn't allow me to use a lot of my household items.

    Another thing that would cause the power to go off is if you forget to pay the bill but then after a couple days the Repo man would come by to take some of your things to pay for the bill.

    Yes, this is a bug/glitch when the Landgrab power is always shut off. For me it happens at an apartment in Green Harbor. I haven't found a permanent fix, and still figuring out what triggers it (maybe has to do with leaving the lot), but here are some things to try, that temporarily at least, worked for me:

    1. Go to Manage Worlds and then back to household. 

    2. Try moving out Sim and moving them back in. 

    3. Save and exit game, and then start again. 

    Each of these worked for me but only temporarily. I don't know if one works better or for longer. I'm going to permanently move my Sim out of the apartment soon though.

    having the same issues, thanks for sharing these tips. 

    They're working for a little while but then it goes back to the glitch. we're you able to fix yours eventually?

    @invisebledork for the landgrab thing, I moved and it seemed to resolve that.
    After that, I clicked that I was prepared and gotten the response that it was just and test.
    Have not seen an active report on this, so I doubt it is getting much attention from the bug team
